Galway is Ireland's cultural capital. Free spirited, artistic and bohemian, it has an ambience all of its own. Galway has a thriving night life and entertainments scene, with a very strong tradition of music, many of the music pubs around the city area reflect this.
Busking on the main streets is a common sight. Widely regarded as Ireland’s most popular arts extravaganza, the Galway Arts Festival is an international celebration of performing and visual arts. The Galway Races is another memorable week in this energetic city.
